We just need to wait and hope that Ritz will be fine and can do the next chapter already though it will be delayed right? with the announcement of her getting surgery or is it not confirmed a delay release?

They only annouced the main series to be delayed, actually.

Moreover, Achiga-hen is drawn by other person, Ritz only need to tell him the script.

Just a sudden thought: maybe Saki should bring a stronger player to the final (if she still has the luxury to choose in the semi-final) instead of a weaker one. Even in the prefectual final Koromo don't really ron directly from Saki, but keep on getting scores from the weakest player (Kana) and or course Haitei. Since Saki will not dealt into a hand (for the past 7 years she only dealt into a hand once unintentionally), and Awai seems cannot Tsumo when activiting her double-richi ability (all her hands on rons), Saki will only have a hard time if someone keep on dealting into Awai. If the other players are strong, they can even out the table so Saki don't need to go for a crazy Yakuman hand at the end.

Then they came for Toro (bluefin tuna) sushi,I didn't speak up because I don't eat sushi.
Then they came for me and force me to be a vegan by that time no one was left to speak up.

I think the shear size of boobs in horizon is still much bigger than in saki. Plus there are many of them in horizon that its like a norm that neito and masazumi are rare creature. At least in Saki there are still normality even though some are huge but at least its not the majority.

For the 'montain theory' I couldnt help but thing this would be fun as Saki is " The flower atop the montain"

Yeah... on the finals, it would be something like...

Harue: "So, Shizu... do you see those three girls... do you think you can conquer those three mountains? Can you make your way through the finals?"
Shizu: "Yes, I have an excellent view... I can see so clearly that I see flowers along the mountain ridges... I think we're screwed! "

After reading chap 19, to touch on an earlier topic of discussion, but I actually like how they handled Harue 'noticing' Awai's ability. Because unlike FunaQ and even Yumi/Hisa, who review their opponents by simply going through a record of their opponents hands during the games they played, Harue actually takes the time to watch the videos of the player's playing, and noticed the one player reacting in a similar way that Saki reacted to Koromo when Koromo first activated her powers, an 'oh god I'm screwed' type feeling. And even then, it's not like Harue figured out the whole corner's weakness or what exactly the power was, but it was more like 'When Awai does a double riichi, you should play super careful up to the part where she makes a Kan, because she's probably using some kind of ability.' Which is a strategy that FunaQ also realizes within just seeing Awai use the supernova one game, and which thinking about it makes logical sense.

Onto Shizu's ability, I sort of do like how Koromo mentioned she failed twice. Because the first time it happens, the ability user in question like Awai and others might just put it up to a 'fluke' or 'losing focus', but on the second time, when Koromo was paying attention and 100% focused and still couldn't manage it, that's when she probably realizes that something is happening.

Interested in the fact that Teru mentions that there are about 10 high schoolers who can break Awai's ability. I wonder if we've already seen a few of these players, maybe a few 'monsters' over on Kiyosumi's side of the bracket?

Hisa is watching their match, hopefully Hisa will be able to figure it out + a very useful hint from Koromo about Shizu'a ability, ganbatte Kiyosumi~

Awai is first year and first time she play at national right? I wonder how Teru come into conclusion 'about 10 player can break it' when Awaii has never play at national before...

Toyone and Kasumi probably would be able to...

Toyone using pursuit riichi and Kasumi hoarding 1 suit

Hmmm... wonder if Sae's tenpai-blocker can work... probably can if and only if Awai's starting hand isn't in tenpai already

Awai declaring Riichi means she can't change her hand, so Toki will be fine.

If Saki can build her hand faster then awai's kan, awai would probably get ron-ed by Saki (because Awai discard the tile she got from dead wall *which saki is waiting for*)

Since we have no idea about rinkai and uzu-something, that's the only one I can think of...

If the other players are strong, they can even out the table so Saki don't need to go for a crazy Yakuman hand at the end.

if i remember it right saki also got ron'd against maho (using hisa ability) at training camp.

but looking at awai i really hope she able to do consecutive kan like saki or got more than 4 ura dora

Think reverse: By conquering the mountains, everything on it will be conquered too.

Saki: Look, there are flowers blomming all over the mountain Shizu: So, what? entire mountain is mine. Do I have to tell you that's I'm actually standing on the tree atop the montain???

Saki is the flower that Top the tallest montain , where no other can bloom.
If the mountains are the strong player Saki is the one Atop the strongest , no matter who it is she is atop, you can't run away , she will alway be here

And what's funny is that Saki can never be a good stalker... she always had a hard time locating a stationary toilet and have the habit of tripping herself...

I say who else here would agree to let Igurashi~sensei to do the art for the main manga as well? I know there will be some changes from the art style but we've been following achiga-hen for quite some time and we're used to its style by now... the downside is the drop on boobs quality and I know a number of people here loves their boobs toned to perfection... what? don't look at me like I'm one of those oppai-loving bunch... seriously now... we'll have a drop on boobs quality but we might get double the number of pages or maybe even more... not to mention a lot of progress in the main story... not bad, right?

In my opinion, Achiga manga have so much better artwork compare to Saki while Ritz's artwork is getting worst (i.e. Characters looks younger as time passed). So, I would gladly welcome if Igurashi~sensei work for main manga too.

Between 15 pages and 70 pages? Of course I will gladly welcome Igarashi than Ritz. Although the main character will switch to Shizu maybe...

With some arrangement and the fact that Achiga is ending, I welcome the idea of having Igurashi-san reigning over the main manga art for a while at least. That way the manga can continue without putting much strain on Ritz-sensei until she fully recovers. And while I enjoy Ritz's obssession with big boobs but with her current condition, I'm more than willing to go with this for the time being.

EDIT: Moreover, if the main manga speeds up in the progress then we maybe able to have Side B semifinals adapt for the new season.
